Babar Azam being ruled out for Pakistan's upcoming T20I series against New Zealand is a "major setback" for the visitors, according to bowling coach Waqar Younis. Pakistan captain Azam suffered a fracture on his right thumb during a throw-down session on Sunday.

"There is no doubt that Babar is one of the best players in the world now in any format. So it is a major setback for us. Other teams are scared of him," Waqar said in a media interaction with Pakistani journalists.
